On this special edition of "Be the Leader" Jeramiah will reflect on some of the fallen soldiers that he had the opportunity to work with and get to know during his time in the Army. 

This Memorial Day, we would like to remind everybody that these are real stories, of real people, and that these types of events still take place through today.

Toward the end of the episode, Jeramiah will dive into some of the most profound and impactful leadership lessons that were learned through these fallen soldiers. 

Everybody, by default, starts out as a poor leader. 

You can identify a poor leader by the way that they present themselves, and the way that they react to situations. 

This episode is going to help all of the poor leaders transition into good leaders. 

These are the first steps.

Having a lot of goals can keep you broke, out of shape, and miserable. 

To become a maximum performer, and efficient leader, you need to take those goals and turn them into accomplishments.  

In other words, be the one that does more, and not the one that talks more. 

This episode is going to explain exactly how to actually do what you say you are going to do. 

Jeramiah will break down what it is that is holding you back, and how you can easily overcome those obstacles and become a master at achieving those goals. 

This episode is going to teach you how to have strong transitions in your life, whether you're transferring into a new career, a new business, or any other sort of life-changing event. 

Right now, a lot of people are faced with uncertainty in their lives, and it can be extremely difficult to say out with the old and in with the new when it comes to these types of decisions. 

We will discuss three key factors in this episode that play into the reasoning behind why a lot of people struggle with transitioning from one phase of their life to the next, and that at the end we leave you with three straightforward tips to help you transition like a gladiator.

It's 4:00 AM. 

You are traveling for an event that you've been waiting to go to for months now, and you decide to go out for a run early in the morning. 

As you are running around, in a new city, trying to enjoy every second of this experience, a car drives by and you suddenly hear some cracks and whizzes go right by your head. 

Your adrenaline starts pumping and your state is changed immediately, and sooner or later you realize that you are being shot at. 

You do your best to find cover, and with no way to defend yourself, you have to find a way to stay as calm and collected as possible in this situation. 

Moreover, you don't want to miss out on the rest of your trip because of a highly stressful situation like this.

In this episode, Jeramiah reflects on an event he went to in April of 2019 where this is exactly what he was faced in. He went over the lessons that he was able to pull from this experience, and how you can use these same lessons to keep yourself together during times of high stress. 

We all have faced some challenges where we just looked at ourselves and thought "I am not mentally prepared for this." 

For some of us this could be final exams, while for others it could be stepping into a new position at work, or taking on a new leadership role even in your family. 

In this episode Jeramiah went over the importance of consistently developing your mental toughness or what he likes to call the Badmuther Mindset.

This episode is only for the people that want to be prepared for the hardest moments of their lives, before those moments happen. The people that are ready to show their strength when the opportunity presents itself. 

For anyone to be considered a good leader, they have to have a certain level of influence. 

This episode is for the team leader, that struggles to keep everyone moving in the same direction, in the most efficient manner possible. 

Jeramiah teaches you everything that you need to know to create a team with top-notch communication skills, which will remove a lot of friction, and help you rise to the top. 

It's in the hours of darkness that we can start to see who the true leaders are, and who will inevitably fall out. 

In this episode, Jeramiah went over what it takes to maintain your leadership, and stay in the lead during the bad times, because it will only propel you farther ahead during the good times. 

This episode is for the business owner that is determined to make it through the good times, and the bad. It is for the parent that is ready to do whatever it takes to get through the storm. It is for the warrior, who understands that thriving in times of trouble are what creates their strength. 

This episode... is for the Leader.

When it comes to leading yourself, and performing at a higher level, the way that you respond to solitude can be a key indicator to how you stack up. 

Whether you are trying to keep yourself stable, or even THRIVE financially, physically, or socially, you need to learn how to do so in the event that you are isolated from the people that can help you under normal circumstances. 

In this episode, Jeramiah went over four key tips that you can use in order to make sure that you continue to THRIVE in a state of solitude. These tips came from his own, REAL EXPERIENCE with being isolated from his family throughout his fifteen year military career. 

His total time away from family adds up to roughly five years, so if you are going to take advice from anyone on how to handle the isolation, you ought to take it from this episode.

Mike Chandler is a three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion.

He wasn't born that way though... 

Growing up as one of the smallest kids in the neighborhood, and being a late bloomer, Mike had to figure out what it really took to become a champion.

1.) He learned to put himself up against a challenge, even when things were being handed to him. 

2.) He learned how to maintain sufficient levels of discipline and drive, even on days of feeling out of place. 

3.) He learned how to approach life with a sense of gratitude, and study the world around him.

And in this episode, he shared all of this with us, so that you can learn, and benefit, from what got Mike Chandler to where he is today.
